Welcome to The Good Ol' Days our family of 7 (almost 8) have stepped away from the city and into the country, we make an effort to go a little back in time and make things with our hands, from natural items, from scratch, and with love. We spend time enjoying our kids, our animals and the nature around us.

Thursday morning 12:30am, we were woken by a rattling noise at our bedroom door and the smell of smoke, we had no time to waste. We had to get out, my husband grabbed the kids, i grabbed the baby, kicked out the window and we all escaped through the bedroom window, ran to a neighbours house in nothing but pj's banging on her door begging for help. She called the fire department, they arrive 15 minutes later, but that point it was to bad to fight, they tried and after more than 3.5 hours this is what is left, we have lost everything.
Now we live in a hotel until we can find a house and begin to rebuild our lives.
Fire is the scariest thing I have ever been through, it will be hard for a long time, but the main thing is we have each other.

About Me

I am a stay at home mom of 5 going on 6, our little bun in the oven is expected to arrive in July. I am married to a wonderful man, Chris... he brings joy to my life every day. We have 2 boys and 3 girls who keep us busy, happy, healthy and full of laughter. Chris and I both grew up in the busy city, but after having kids we quickly realized city life was not what we wanted. We moved to the country and are now surrounded by farmers fields and nature and now we are happy. We currently raise dairy goats and chickens and have a goal to one day be completely self sufficient. We have a few pets too... a pot bellied pig, 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 rabbit and a guinea pig!!!
